Hydroelectric Adjustment this Fiscal Year
The hydroelectric adjustment is based on the hydroelectric generation forecasts received from Northern California Power Agency and Bureau of Reclamation, and the expected market cost of power to replace the reduced hydroelectric generation. The hydroelectric adjustment charge is used to offset the cost to purchase replacement energy due to lower-than-average hydroelectric generation. The hydroelectric adjustment charge for electric bills in the months of July 2023 through June 2024 will be $0.00226/kWh or $1.76 per month for the average Roseville residence.
As of May 1, the Fiscal Year 2024 hydroelectric generation forecast is at 88% of normal generation which is why Roseville Electric Utility's customers will have a hydroelectric adjustment charge on their bills between July 2023 and June 2024.
Below are links to the recent methodology update and power point presented to the City Council at its March 15, 2023 meeting on the hydroelectric adjustment. You can also review the video of the City Council meeting.
